What do you actually enjoy seeing on Facebook? (& of course, what ticks you off?)

[JPercy]

What would make you follow, or unfollow, a farming company on Facebook? Feel free to name and shame in the comments

I'm trying to figure out what works best for the company I work for and I'd like to get insight from actual farmers! (I'm a farmers daughter but I've been disconnected from ag for a while)
Even if you just want to have a rant about what you hate on social media...

(I spend a bit of time browsing the forum and have been lurking for a while, I enjoy the general chit chat and this place has been a fantastic place to learn. Sorry if this ends up in the wrong place, moderators feel free to shout at me.)

Sorry, don’t do FB.

Anything involved with animal cruelty really annoys and upsets me,as do the stolen dogs.

Won't/Don't do Facebook other than a cursory check on a specialist motorbike page.

I find the whole layout and setup and rationale of Facebook to be something I don't like or want.

However, I am maybe an oddity...

I'm not on facebook anymore but I used to be. I got fed up of all the nonsense. That being said, I did follow a number of companies and organisations and I continued to follow them on LinkedIn and Instagram long after I left Facebook.

Generally speaking, on a business type page, I want to see "things" and not "people". I quickly unfollow pages that post "We're delighted to announce initiative XYZ" or "Company A and Company B to Work Closely On XYZ" followed by a picture of two old men shaking hands. As a good example, check out the Royal Navy or RAF on Instagram. Lot's of pictures of "things" or people standing in front of interesting things. Good photography obviously helps, with no poor quality photos zoomed blown up too much.

For a good farming example, check out The Sheep Game on YouTube and Instagram. Cammy puts a lot of work into the quality of the photography and the editing.

I'm guarded about liking any click bait or advertising

Most of my family have either gone to Instagram only or left completely

I love being able to stay in contact with friends around the World and actively follow hashtags for specific cattle breeding interests

I am also a member of various groups and share photos to them

Faceache went 5 years ago, don't miss it one little bit.

 

[Chae1]

Don't do it.

I seem to lack a filter and if something, someone annoys me I can't scroll on.

Think I annoy enough people on here without going on Facebook and falling out with everyone.

 

[early riser]

Anything that is nothing more than constant showing off/bragging/self indulgent/look at me look at me I’m amazing/willy waving immediately gets binned off.

I can think of a number of large farming companies that fall into the above categories.

What's Facebook?

It's all gone quiet over there.

 

[Av Gorritt]

Annoy me ? Plenty , but worst of all , people who insist on calling dogs or cats "fur babies " and calling themselves their mummy , or perhaps worse mommy , or daddy . In fact anybody who attributes human characteristics to animals , all kinds of anthropomorphism in fact .

 

[Kidds]

Girls in yoga pants (an actual FB page)
That throws up some interesting pics, I quite like seeing that on FB.

[Wombat]

I am of the opinion if i wasn't friends with them 20yrs ago there was a reason and don;t want to be now so have zero interest in it.

It drives me nuts when you go somewhere and its closed whatever and they said didn;t you check our faceache page no i checked you website.

 

[bobk]
